I think it is a great idea linking with bluetooth. But, do we really need all these excessive bells and whistles? Just make the damn thing ring and make calls. Caller ID/Waiting is nice, but I would be happy with just that. $250 for the phone....plus, it has to be next to it for bluetooth to work. Might as well just use the cellular. I live in a townhome. I truely need this item as I don't use a landline. But, I need the base...and a satellite. I will just continue to run up and down the stairs for the time being. Rather than dish my money out for an overpriced item. This phone is way overpriced. I think it is a great idea linking with bluetooth. But, do we really need all these excessive bells and whistles?

I had decided I wanted this phone when I first heard about it late last year. I had been in the market to replace an aging 2.4GHz model that was getting too much interference from microwave ovens and WiFi.. http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=Uniden+ELBT595&btnG=Search+Froogle I ended up getting an inexpensive multi handset combination from uniden available at Costco. ($69 for a two handset 5.8GHz setup) The feature that is in the expensive phone, that I'd really like, is to be able to syncronize the phone books.
